This book tests the explanatory and descriptive power of the
doctrine of sin in relation to two concrete situations: sexual
abuse of children and the holocaust. Taking seriously the
explanatory power of secular discourses for analysing and
regulating therapeutic action in relation to such situations, the
book asks whether the theological language of sin can offer further
illumination by speaking of God and the world together. Through its
discussion of abuse and the holocaust, an engagement with
Augustine, original sin and feminism, a fresh and sometimes
surprising perspective is offered, both on the theology of sin and
on the pathologies under consideration. The understanding of sin
that emerges is centred on joyful worship of the trinitarian God.
This essay is more systematic and more theological than most
practical, pastoral or applied theology and more practical and
concrete than most systematic or constructive theology. It is a
genuinely concrete, systematic theology.
